Introduction

The LEADTOOLS Medical Multimedia Module includes a suite of state-of-the-art DirectShow filters for compressing and decompressing video and audio data inside DICOM files. This feature-rich product was designed to simplify converting cine images and video streams to DICOM objects,  including X-ray Angiography (XA), Ultrasound (US), Visible Light (VL), Secondary Capture (SC) and many more. This Filter Pack utilizes the most advanced compression DICOM standard algorithms used in the industry, including MPEG-2, Motion JPEG, and JPEG2000.

The Medical Multimedia Module includes two components:

The LEAD DICOM Writer includes the DirectShow filters that are used for creating DICOM objects with compressed video and audio data.

The LEAD DICOM Reader includes a set of DirectShow filters that register into the Windows collection of multimedia drivers and integrate with any application using DirectShow.
